Review on Keyboard DELL KB216 Black USB black, Russian by Stanislaw Sipko ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

I bought this keyboard to replace my SpeedLink Verdana, I was also looking for one with flat keys, multimedia buttons, an island one. Finding something good with such parameters is not easy, but Dell made me happy. While I worked on it for a month (text, Internet, not too intense toys) - everything is fine, it feels very pleasant. At first, the move seemed quite large, but I kind of got used to it and no longer feel any discomfort. Now about the layout. I really liked the volume buttons, the presence of two Fn keys, but I still don’t understand why it was necessary to declare a different enter / shift layout. The enter is double-decker here, "\ | /" shares the bottom line with it (instead of them being on top of each other). Also, the purpose of the duplicate "\ | /" between I and Shift is not entirely clear. It doesn't bother me, because I don't press the shift in the center, but for those who are accustomed to a wide shift, it can be a problem.

Pros
  • Island, not afraid of dirt Nice design High quality workmanship The presence of multimedia keys (no extra) White diodes instead of traditional green small size Full layout, albeit slightly unusual Rubber feet
Cons
  • A little too big distance between the keys, and the keys themselves are a little smaller than expected Another layout announced
